In an email sent hours before his death in a single-car L.A. crash, journalist Michael Hastings wrote that his “close friends and associates”
were being interviewed by the FBI and he was going to “go off the radar for a bit.”

According to the email, sent to KTLA, Hastings wrote he was working on a “big story” and was going to disappear. He told his colleagues that if
the FBI came to interview them, they should have legal counsel present.

The subject of the email was “FBI Investigation re: NSA.” Hastings sent the email to his colleagues just before 1 p.m. Monday and blind-copied his
friend, Staff Sgt. Joseph Biggs.

More about Michael Hastings actions before his fateful demise is trickling out. Despite the FBI's claims to the contrary yesterday, it does appear
they were investigating him and were interviewing people he knew about him.

Here is the article which makes the claim the FBI was not investigating Hastings from yesterday:

The bureau responded in a statement: "At no time was journalist Michael Hastings ever under investigation by the FBI."

The FBI's statement comes as officials with the Los Angeles Police Department said that there appears to be no foul play in the one-vehicle accident
that killed Hastings.

Officials still are trying to determine whether there was a mechanical problem with the car, if Hastings may have had a medical condition, or if he
consumed substances that could have impaired his driving. The sources spoke on the condition of anonymity.

A driver who witnessed the fiery crash that killed journalist Michael Hastings says the vehicle the 33-year-old was driving shook his car "like a
freight truck" as it flew by early Tuesday morning in Los Angeles.

From the beginning, this didn't feel right to me. That doesn't mean anything was going on. I would just like to know where he could have been going
or coming from at that time. Was it normal for him to take risky, unnecessary chances? You know, things that would point to him living on the edge.

I wish there were at least skid arks on the road... It's kinda hard I mean not to think the obvious when the obvious is naked and yelling my name in
front of me..the Obama administration doesn't cover # up very well lol!

One of the worst things someone could do in the middle of an FBI probe is to provide any sort of evidence about running away. That sets off agent
gotcha reflexes and they chase. Going off the radar is like an investigation term for cleansing: a person runs away, reinvents their persona, maybe
in more extreme cases loses their car and runs under a fake name. The investigators still go and investigate, watch the person spin their wheels and
spend their money, and just don't care because it's what they do.

This could be an element of conspiracy and Hastings' phone could have been cloned and used to send the text before the death. He has a pen and paper,
he was a writer with doctor parents, lawyers, and a big network of peers who supported him, so it's not characteristic of someone like Hastings to go
through the fired general story without flinching and then skip town about the wikileaks thing. Likely he was researching for the lawyer.

So the newspaper claim was Hastings said the FBI was investigating him, but the FBI says they weren't.

Maybe it's newspeak and the FBI SID was investigating them. Maybe there are FBI impersonators, or Infragard. Maybe they are merely affiliated with
the military and the Democratic Party (true story) and it wasn't an official investigation, just some phone hacking and organized crime from the likes
of the Pentagon and NorthCom. That NorthCom is popping up all over the place now that they militarized cyberspace and civil disturbances, maybe
Hastings was onto that.

Maybe it's rogue FBI. No, the FBI could openly lie about investigations happening; I figure because all they'd have to do is trash the files and who
would know? Put it under a ridiculous code name like "Operation basketcase" and call it classified.

Sometimes the deception isn't all black death and evil shadows. Sometimes it's light fluffy shiny bright suggestions that sneak in to whitewash
reality. There are people who exist with those sort of mentalist abilities, and they tend to gravitate towards jobs in intelligence. One minute
you're looking at a wanted person and the next you're thinking you should reevaluate your entire life and give up detective work (thinking, hey I'm
not a detective who put in that...professor X is that you?) One minute you're on the way to the story and the next you think it's a great idea to go
speeding into a palm tree. Maybe Hastings was one of those geopathic stress sensitives and there was precursor waves to a quake in the area which
made him go unbalanced; maybe he had a seizure.
